Polo Shirts with club logo


I have got my act together ,at last ,to organise a polo shirt with the club badge on .Uniformity clothing next door to Clubbies can do the whole job for us for £15 per shirt. We have gone for Fruit of the Loom make as these were our old Centurions shirts and have worn well . Colour is white and there are male and female versions .This is a heavy duty polo with the red white and blue wolfs head emblem embroidered int the shirt ,65mm diameter badge . the next step is to get the names and sizes of everyone who wants one ,we need at least 20 to start this off.
Have a look at the sizes below and let me know your size and how many you want by posting in the comments box at the bottom of this box
MENS S=36"-38" , M=38"-40" ,L=42"-44", XL=46",XXL=48",3XL=50"-52"


LADIES , XS=8, S=10, M=12 ,L=14, XL=16 . Ialready have orders for about ten ,so the sooner the list fills up ,the sooner we get the shirts . Dave .


Llandudno Rally ,this weekend

Sorry to be so late posting about this do ,but I was hoping to get some opinion from the members at the club meeting last night.Unfortunately I was the only member at Clubbies last night,so we are no further forward ! Some are going down Friday and staying till Monday .Some are going Sat or Sunday and not staying .
I would suggest meet at Clubbies 10.30 am on Sat. and again on Sunday for anyone in the chester area wanting to ride down on either day . I will probably go both days but will not come into Chester but am happy to meet up on route . If anyone wants to do this ring or text me .If you've got a legshield banner put it on if you can ,it always looks good when there's scooters from all over the country,we are very lucky to have a national scooter rally so near to home,so support it if you can ,cheers to all for now ,see you at the weekend, Dave.
P.S. LIVE BANDS on Friday "JAM'D " and Sat. "BASKETCASE",so I will be going back down again Sat .night ,but by car !

North Wales Nomads "Into the Valley " 20th april 2008

For more picture click HERE and select slideshow at the top of the page.

Well done to Steve for making this his first long ride with the club after buying a new PX125 ! Exactly the same as last year ,the weather forecast was all doom and gloom ,but just the same it was an over the top forecast and apart from a few early spits and spots it remained dry and cold for the whole trip . Six "chester "scooters left macdonalds ,Mold ,with eight club members ,for the run via St Asaph to Abergele where over seventy scoots came together for the event .This years route went inland from Abergele through the hills to Llanfair T.H. and on down into the valley of the Conway via Llanwrst ,up to Betwys-y-Coed for the lunch break .The return route back to Conwaywas supposed to cross to the far bank andreturn via Trefriw.Due to confusion when Chester scoots left to refuel the other sixty odd scoots followed (nobody likes to be left behind !!)and the wrong road was taken by the rideout! Chester s.c. followed the planned route ,now alone,back via Conway ,Llandudno prom ,Colwyn Bay ,back to the finish in Abergele! It all made for a good laugh when we walked into the Nomads pub they were trying to sort out who in their club had messed it up ! Sorry lads ! An uneventfull ride back from Abergele via Rhuddlan ,Dyserth ,Lloc ,Holywell ,with acold wind in our faces (Steves bringing more clothes next time !)ended a ride of close on 135miles for those from Chester,well done all .Theres afew more photos I will pass to Graham to post for us and Ithink steve took some to. Dave.

Pat's Easter Egg Run Photos 2008

Pat from The Grosvenor Arms came up with a really good quality set of pictures taken on the day, I've loaded them up so you can all see them. The one showing the scooters setting off with all the exhaust smoke is fantastic and really shows the excellent turn out we had on the day.

New Quay Rally 4/5/6th April

More pictures at the bottom of the page

Pete and Tina ,Judy and I decided to have a go at this rally this year as we missed it last year. It was advertised on the Welsh Scooter Forum website as a tickets only do so we sent for them and booked a B+B in nearby New Quay. With a bad weather forecast and Tina struggling with a throat infection Pete made the decision to get Tina to follow us down with the car and trailer,just in case ! We left Holywell 11.30 Friday and planned to stop for coffee at Rhugg on the A5 . We accidently met up with six scooters from Wrexham s.c. and all decided to carry on down together via Bala, Dolgellau,Aberystwyth to New Quay . Weather was dry with low cloud nearly on the roads through the mountain passes but it was very cold . Ferret and Dave from Wrexham set a fast pace and I was glad of a refuel stop at Dolgellau ,as Judy and I were the only "two up" scooter,but as a 44year old 200 Lammy will always hold its own against a 4 year old 200 vespa we didnt have any great problem !!
The "do" was based at the Llanina Hotel at Llanarth ,just outside New Quay .A good venue,for camping and the pub with the night do on Friday and Saturday nights but a three mile journey to New Quay town ,a great little harbour town with an excellent choice of pubs and eating places .Friday night music and party got into full swing by 11,Saturday night was the same thing again ,a live band would have given it a bit of variety .Steve Flynn and his wife turned up on Saturday morning ,as a couple of dealers set up there stalls for a parts fair. The "rideout ",planned for 1pm ,never materialised so we had our own ride to Aberaeron up the coast in bright sunshine,but an ever stronger freezing cold wind . We came out the B+B on Sunday morning to falling snow accompanied by a freezing cold wind.Boy, was I glad that Pete had brought the car and trailer,with enough room for two scooters !!
Would I go again ? Yes! The roads are some of the best for an interesting ride,scooter parking was safe and easy in a little town were parking a car would be a nightmare.Only criticism would be a bit more laid on during the Saturdayand a live band on Saturday night .Apart from Wrexham s.c ,Telford Tigers,Salford Knights and Cloud 9 the rest were from south Wales and Istill havent a clue the name of the organising club,but whoever they were thanks lads ,it was a good effort!!Will send Graham the rest of the pictures to put on later .Dave.
